He has a gift for Marines. This is an
honest attempt to say thank you for your service. He just launched a personal
project to use his artwork to thank Marines. He feels they do not get thanked
enough. You can see it here at www.FreeEagleGlobeAndAnchor.com
I have been toying with the idea of adding a quick look at news stories from
different sources. Marty at www.anysoldier.com gave me the items I needed to
complete the newest addition to OMV. Check out the "Military News"
section on the far right. There is nothing worse than to have to go to 20
websites for your news. Now, when you come to OMV you can simply check out my
post and my "No Shit News" (NSN) then scan to the right for
additional "News" from around the world. Like many things on OMV,
this blog is built to get the word of our warriors to you, however, if it doesn’t
work or isn’t affective, it’s gone. So give me your feedback and if you would
like to see your favorite "news" website here, let me know what that
site is in the comments and I will see about adding it. Time is money people
and one stop shopping is better than running around with your head cut off.
Intimate photo of Virginia couple holding hands around corner on wedding day goes viral
A
photographer snapped this sweet photo of Bre and Josh Curtas praying
before tying the knot, as the groom averts his eyes by reaching around a
corner to hold her hand.
A sweet photo of a bride and groom moments before they walk down the
aisle has gone viral. The groom is sitting around the corner to uphold
tradition of not seeing the bride before she walks down the aisle.
A group of United
States Marines is taking part in the yearly military exercise known as
"Eager Lion" in Jordan, a country that borders Syria. Just yesterday,
President Obama said he would increase military aid to Syrian rebels as a
consequence of the nation using chemical weapons on its own people, according
to the Associated Press.
Sent to Syria? Not directly but the
26th MEU is participating in the exercise (Eager Lion) in Jordan. I say again, A Marine
Expeditionary Unit (MEU) is already on the ground in Jordan (next to
Syria). Now, this exercise has been planned for some time as the Asoc press
reads but know, it would be very easy to left turn into Syria, in a blink of an
eye. Why do countries get so damn scared when US Navy ships are seen of the
horizon? Because they are full of Marines, that’s why.
Although the exercise isn’t planned to
go long, the US will
leave some F16s & Patriot Missiles in Jordan. In case you didn’t know,
F16 & Patriots are not, never been will never be apart of a MEU and thus
this was planned in parallel. (I smell a "no fly zone" building) .
Your warriors are always in the middle
of something. If there is trouble, and people need help, it isnt unusual to
find Marines. Thats just how we are. America's 911 Force!
Love the small unit leadership throughout the video, love the talking guns laying down suppression fire and cover fire. Love the C2 working at the lowest levels and the beautiful mortar shot at 5:30. Time for a C-Gar.
Nothing better than ejoying One Marine's View with a C-Gar!
Time for a C-Gar!
There are many things you could do this weekend, nonetheless
the list is long. Sure, you probably need to knock a few of those things out

If necessary, a flight surgeon
was authorized to give the pilots pep pills to keep them flying. More
than 1,000 fighter aircraft would create a wall of protection from
treetop level to 30,000 feet. The men on the beaches were to be
protected at all costs. The date was June 6, 1944, the Allied invasion
of Europe.
Robert "Punchy" Powell strapped into his P-51 Mustang "The West ‘by
Gawd’ Virginian" and completed his preflight. Punchy was airborne by 4
a.m. Their orders: "Not one German plane is to get through to the
beaches.’’ None did.
You may see the above picture on Facebook about a missing Marine’s dog tag and everyone trying to track him down which was found by chance two years ago by an Australian
teacher visiting the site of the former U.S. military base in Khe Sanh and
was posted online in the hopes that others could provide information
leading to the whereabouts of the Marine, identified only as Martinson,
L.P., service number 1984025, religion Lutheran. Well he has been found and the dog tag has been returned thanks to some help of some active duty Marine (named Joshua Laudermilk ). It belongs to Sgt Lanny Paul Martinson who lives in Texas. Feel free to pass this on to those on Facebook who send it to ya. When you need a job done right, call the Marines!
Meet Mr Dave Norman (firefighter). He is asking for your
help to simply vote for him. Let’s help this warrior out. If he wins he gets a
spot on the Champion Ironman Competition for his cause. Pretty freaking motivating

hero by night. Click on the link below, watch his short video them click to vote
for him at the bottom of the video. C’mon warriors, it takes 10 seconds and we
